so was von (so etwas von): "so something of"; so, so very, very, extremely
This is another phrase I keeping wanting to pop into my English thoughts/conversations. Just the other day, I wanted to say to my dog, "You are so was von naughty!" Helps get more frustration out than just saying, "You are so naughty!" The longer the sentence, the more aggression gets out, right? That's just me? Oh... Well, then...
I'll give you guys a few examples in German:
Du bist so was von schön! You are so pretty!
Ich bin so was von müde! I am extremely tired!
Er war so was von heiß! He was so hot!
This phrase can pretty much always replace the word sehr (very) in any sentence. I find it to be much more expressive and puts a lot more emphasis on what you're saying.
Also, "so was von" is a shortened version of "so etwas von". Jus' so ya know.
Another short one, but I hope it was informative and fun, anyway! :-)
Bis dann!
